[QUOTE="mc_mc, post: 136652, member: 1711"] Success! I've managed to transfer the data across using the adb backup and restore method. Here's how I did it: First you need to get ADB working on both devices (not at the same time) so this means installing the correct USB drivers for each device. So I needed the Toshiba ADB drivers and the Nook ADB drivers. There's lots of guides about this on the web, but for me it was the major part of the exercise. Once you've got ADB working do the following. 1. Connect the device you want to extract from (making sure that ADB debugging is turned on in the settings). 2. Issue the following command: adb -d backup -f pa -noapk -noshared com.farsight.AndroidPinball.javaProject 3. If all is well a prompt will appear on the tablet / device asking for permission to backup (and optionally put in a password, but I didn't bother). Press the backup button. 4. A few seconds later this will complete and I got a 235Kbyte file. (if you use the shared flag you get a massive file with all the downloaded table resource files, but I didn't need that). 5. Unplug the old device and plug in the new one. 6. Run the following adb command: adb restore pa 7. Again a pop will appear on the new device and click restore. 8. After a few seconds it will say restore complete and you are done! (no root needed on either device). [/QUOTE]
